Former General Manager of Asante Kotoko Opoku Nti has attributed the club's slump in the Ghana Premier League to disunity among stakeholders.
The Porcupine Warriors succumbed to a 2-0 defeat to the Dade Boys at the Accra Sports Stadium on Sunday.
The defeat was the side's fourth loss of the season and it extends their winless run to seven games, which has led to the club's slip on the league standings from 5th to 8th, with 20 points after 14 games.
Speaking to Happy FM, Opoku Nti expressed his frustration at the recent performance of the club in the ongoing campaign and ascribed the slump to disunity among the stakeholders.
“I am frustrated because things aren’t going well with Kotoko, things aren’t happening."
When quizzed about what he thinks are the cause of their problems, the former cult hero said, “I think there are a lot of factors affecting the club. Spiritually, if there is no peace and unity among the stakeholders of kotoko, it affects our game."
“A lot of times you see fans of the club rejecting some decisions, agitating vigorously to some issues openly on radio and TV."
“Issues that can be addressed in the boardroom, you have people talking about it openly. Kotoko is a big club that when we have problems we should be able to address them amicably rather wash our dirty linen in public."
“If there is no peace even amongst the high ranks, it affects our play drastically, and you can see that now."
He however insists leadership should call an emergency meeting to resolve matters as fast as possible.
“I think leadership should call for a meeting, get all the stakeholders involved so they can jaw jaw to see the way forward for the club,” he said.
“Any nation that fights among themselves won’t stand. Divide we fall, united we stand. Unity is paramount now."
